Surpise your students with a cupcake lesson which has an important message.

Read about Michael Sokol, who volunteers on Rosh Hashanah to blow shofar for an elderly couple

unable to attend services. By helping to bring joy to their holiday, Michael enhances

his own celebration as well.  After sampling cupcakes without frosting, students will explore

the “cake” and the “frosting” of holiday observance and think about the ways in

which they can enhance the holidays for themselves and others. They will also consider

the ways in which celebrating with other people is an essential part of the holiday.
